WeightWatchers ProPoints Plan - Our thread is expanding but our waists are not!

[NormaSknockers]

Welcome one and all to our 3rd thread

If you're just starting out or you've been following WW for a while and you're looking for support you've come to the right place!

There are lots of regulars who are well on their weigh (get it! ) and others who have just joined us - we're a mixed bag, all shapes and sizes and all with different goals to achieve but we're all striving for the same thing. We're all here to will one another on with advice, support and lots of cheering!

Androbbob is our resident stat checker and keeps us motivated by totting up the total weight loss each week. So far this week we have already lost over 37lbs collectively! I believe in total there has been over a 9 stone loss since the thread started!

We're quite fast moving at times so just dive in and make yourself at home

Thanks for the advice people.

OK, I've weighed in. I lost 2lb, which considering I was at 2 40th parties I'm pleased with (one was in an Indian reataurant!). Here's to next week!

Hurrah, I lost 1.5 lbs this week. Despite lack of exercise and having one night of sin with a milka bar!

Yipeee another 1/2lb off! Very pleased because have thought all week I had put on due to totm!

Really enjoyed helping out. Am going to be helping with weighing next week!

Not going to be more ambitious than that as there's a holiday involved, and as much I I'm going to try to stick to Cuba Libre's with Diet Coke and seafood, I KNOW there'll be creme brulee and at least one bottle of my favourite wine!

Morning all,

WI for me tonight and I'd really like to lose 1.5 which would get me my 5% and take me down into the next stone bracket. Feeling nervous, as usual!

I'm going to measure tomorrow as I'll have been on the plan a month and I'll also set my new goals then.

Good luck everyone today!

Morning ladies,

This could be a long one, shouldn't not post for a day!

Okay, okay, enough with the slaps now (slightly worried how easy it was to get you to slap me and how much you were enjoying it!) Am back on track, think it probably best to just avoid the bread from now on, then it's not there to tempt me! Feel like this week's loss was a fluke so working extra hard this week to stay on track and doing lots of exercise!

Mcdreamy Well done for the 5lb loss - that was how much my DD weighed when she was born!

Norma Well done for the loss and for getting back into t'internet land!

BTM excellent weight loss and brilliant you stayed within points for two meals out.

Noway good news for loss and what your leader said is very very true. Will have to copy and paste and put that somewhere!

going 2 pounds off, congratulations!

andro well done on the loss and fingers crossed for you for getting a stone next week!

blondes 6pp for cake? That's good, think what you would have had if you weren't on WW, you've counted it, it's gone, move on and feel good!

littlefish 32lbs is excellent, well done you.

cat excellent news, I know what you mean I sometimes don't even feel like I'm on a diet. 4 and a half is excellent, hope you celebrated!

Well done your losses LittleFish, cat, electric, wizzler, HHY and going Glad you enjoyed helping out HHY good luck with weighing in next week, take yourself a pad and a pen and it's a good idea to write down all the 7s so that you don't have to stand and work out if someone has lost another half stone IYSWIM?

No problem vnmum I use a Tesco chunky vegetable pasta sauce as the WW sauces are only small jars :)

Good to luck to all those weighing in today!

What are everyone's plans for lunch today? Anything new? Same old, same old?

Sweetheart - thanks so much for looking at the points I ate at lunch yesterday - was really helpful. Have knocked a few off my estimate. Both you and Blondes thought I had over pointed. Hope you got to grips with the Pizza Express points, I agree it is frustrating.

I only had 0 point soup last night and a WW yogurt - didn't really feel hungry anyway! Wonder why!!!

Well done on all the losses littlefish, catfunt, electricslide, whizzler, HighHeidYin, Androbob & Abgirl & anyone else I've forgotten.

So great to read about all the success, it gives you a real boost.

Great reading about everyones mini goals - makes it so much more achievable. When I started I thought I would never be able to lose the 3.5 stone I needed to. But I soon reached 7lb, then 5%, then 10% and now I am nearly at 2 stone .

Norma going to try that Chirizo Lasagne recipe, sounds lovely.

I am making a Turkey Chilli for tea tonight and just having Curried Butternut Squash Soup for lunch with some Ryvita and ex light Phili. Got a sickly DD at home so having a cosy day looking after her.

Sweetheart good luck with the way in and anyone else who is WI today or tonight.

So out of interest what are everyone's losses so far? I know that some people who feel they have a lot to lose can find it daunting when they think they're alone IYKWIM?

How much have you lost so far and how much more do you want to lose? A little or a lot it does't matter, might help to motivate us to see how far we've all come so far?

So far I've lost 3 stone 9.5lbs and I have another 1 stone 4.5lbs to go to reach goal so I will have lost 5 stone by the time I reach goal.
